Wow!  Community Manager Appreciation Day sure has come a long way in 4 years!  Of course so has the discipline and roles of community management.  The amount of conversation, content and celebration from yesterday seemed to hit hyperdrive.  It was very hard to keep up and not get knocked over by the very large firehose with over 19,000 tweets peaking at 2,610 at 10am yesterday!  We  here at The Community Roundtable like to think of yesterday as Community Manager Advancement Day…a day when we get to share great resources and links with you all.  There were many yesterday and here they all are in 1 easy to see place.  If we have missed any that you saw, please add them in the comments section.

Community Management is still in its infancy?

How many times have you heard something like this, “The field of community management is still in its infancy…”? A lot, I’m sure. And if you are one of those CMs that have been doing the CM thing for more than a decade I’m sure it ruffles your feathers; I know that it used to bother me a whole lot.

Of course I wasn’t thinking about it the way I should. Sure, I’ve been at this for more than a quarter of my lifetime, and that seems like a long time but in the grand scheme it isn’t very long at all.

In 1902, Henry Ford left the Cadillac Motor Company to start his own company. You have to admit we’ve come a long way from those first Model As that rolled out in 1903.

Online Community Management really is in its infancy. The role and titles are not “new”… but the skills, tools and knowledge really are just getting starting.

Women are different than men. Women can do the same work as men. Women do things differently. Everyone should be treated equally. The debate circles on and on… and I don’t tend to add my commentary very often because it has always felt like a false choice – to either assume women and men are the same or to assume they are different. However a couple of really interesting recent articles have appeared – the most lengthy by Anne-Marie Slaughter in The Atlantic called Why Women Still Can’t Have it All and a shorter one that hit closer to home by my friend Morra Arrons Mele in the New York Times called Here to Stay, and That’s Good for Women. Stepping back, both of these articles are about a lot more than being working mothers – they are about a societal structure that is broken for the way we live today and THAT is what feuls the passion for the work that I do. I think the structure of work is hurting all of us, both individually and collectively.
